Hi All,

I am working on developing plugins for WSAD 5.1 and so am forced to use the SWT version that comes bundled with it.

I want to increase the popup menus default display item count from 5 to around 15. Currently I do not find and direct method call to do this.

Is there any way this can be acheived.

Thanks in advance,
Ralf

In 3.0 and beyond you can use CCombo.setVisibleItemCount(). There is no
similar method for Combo.

Unfortunately I cannot use eclipse 3.0 as I am tied to eclipse 2.1 that comes with WSAD.

Would it make sense or is it even possible to create a custom widget every thing like Combo only the setVisibleItemCount() method added to it.

I need it to work only on windows that to as stop gap as we are moving to RAD in a few months

Thanks

Hi,

you can try to use the 3.x CCombo class in your 2.1 environment (get the
source file form the swt source and use it in your project). Maybe this
works. Otherwise you have to dig into the sourcecode of the 2.1 CCombo
and either add the method or just change the number of items generally.
I never tried this but heard from from people on this newsgroup doing
this in 2.1 times...

Good luck!

I just created a new CustomCombo by looking at the source of CCombo from eclipse 3.0

This has worked fine so far.

Just in case someone else faces a similar problem

Thanks,
Ralf
